Today's Wimbledon Championships Men's singles final match between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick was incredibly long, and the two men showed some amazing endurance and skills over their 5-set match.

After holding serve 25 games in a row, Andy Roddick slipped up late in the 5th set, and Federer won his 15th major by a score of 5-7, 7-6(8-6), 7-6(7-5), 3-6, 16-14. No, that last score isn't a typo. With no tiebreaks in the final set, Roddick and Federer went on for what seemed like forever.

Congratulations to Andy Roddick, for a great job against the greatest player ever. And of course, congratulations to Roger Federer for winning his record 15th Major Championship, breaking the record formerly held by Pete Sampras.

This is the Andy Roddick that experts and analysts have wanted to see for a long time. Roddick played inspired tennis and took the best player in the world to the limit before making one mistake that ultimately cost him the match. While I normally agree that moral victories are of no significant importance, this match showed a different Andy Roddick and an effort that hopefully can carry over to the rest of the tennis season

4	Though 'moral' or 'psychological victories' result in trophies that are difficult to display, this effort signals for Roddick that he's back as a threat in majors. Don't be shocked if he contends again in the U.S Open.

3	I haven't seen Roddick play so well, He may have lost but certainly he has emerged as a better player.

I think that if Andy Roddick played as well as he played during the tournament, he could have beaten Nadal. Could... he may have lost anyway, but he would have at least had a chance.

1	what a chance for andy! .at least he played the best tennis in his life (though it is still not good enough) guess he'll never grab a wimbledon title.... but what astounded me most is the aces of roger. i was expecting a lot from andy. lol. no doubt, that was the greatest tennis match i've ever seen in my life yet....

I gave Andy a lot of credit...but you are right Nadal ..at 100%, probably beats both of them...but it is hard to argue that after watching the level of tennis achieved by Roddick and Federer in that Final.
